LYING has become a cottage industry among Republicans & they cover it up with fancy words like "exaggerating". The entire DOGE effort was never about improvement or efficiency. It was about CUTS & more CUTS to do what MAGA has wanted to do for decades, destroy government! Another US media FAIL!!

Absolutely correct! And all of it a response to right-wing U.S. media paving the way for DJT’s re-election by hyping an “invasion” which the GOP failed to act on & by stoking discontent on the recovering economy from a pandemic & 40+ yrs of tax cuts that has moved trillions to the top 1%.

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

📣 As of 2023, AFAICT, at least 20% of the Medicaid expansion population either doesn't have a computer/smartphone or tablet or HAS NO INTERNET SERVICE. ...which would make it a wee bit difficult to REPORT YOUR HOURS, even if the official website you have to use doesn't SHUT DOWN AFTER 9:00PM.

Beaten to death by endless right wing media demagoguery about “invasions” of “criminal” migrants, from “shithole” countries. This came about by our RW media stoking fear, propping up the GOP & DJT, who spiked 3 opportunities, over a decade, to fix immigration, but chose political gain, instead.

The media needs to go back and look at how they happily covered Trump’s campaign promises to only deport criminals and hold this administration’s fucking feet to the fire every time they try to deflect about what they’re really doing. Grow a spine and call it out.

AMEN! And they’re still cowering in the corners failing to call out what they see for fear of recriminations from him & his totally politicized DOJ.

We are ill equipped for a propaganda “war”, with the entire U.S. media under right-wing control. We wouldn’t have DJT TWICE without the daily assistance of US media normalizing & sanitizing DJT & GOP actions, & inactions.

Our government has been reduced to two petulant billionaires fighting over how best to spend our money, to their best advantage.

CNN’s “Good Night, Good Luck” is 25 yrs late & it still misses the point. If u think Fox represents the “Right” & MSNBC the “Left”, you’ve so missed what has happened in U.S. media, it is farcical. There is no way “stolen 2020 election” lives for 4 yrs w/o daily RW media bias & disinformation!

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

When principles collide with personal $$ gain, this Prez & Admin will always choose the financial gain over the principles. This should be abundantly obvious to everyone but somehow is lost on many of the paycheck-to-paycheck voters that will be screwed over relentlessly by this Administration.

Absolutely true, from the awful Citizens United decision to granting immunity to DJT, this is why we’re here, fighting to prevent autocracy. Also, with a great assist from right wing media & GOP politicians along the way, including their stealing of 2 SCOTUS seats.

This is so in-American it is beyond belief. We have lost our reputation in the world, & rightly so. Sometimes, it is flat out embarrassing to be an American these days, thx to MAGA & the GOP, who are owned 100% by the 1%. 🛑 voting for Republicans!!

Why? So millions could ignore that he assaulted, & raped, a woman in a dep’t store in NYC or paid off a porn star to keep knowledge of his affair quiet so he could win in 2016?? Staggering what millions will ignore about DJT, not to mention his 34 felony convictions & that he’s a pathological liar.

No one is asking you to storm a heavily defended beach to fight fascism. But you should be willing to vote to save the democracy these men died to protect. #ProudBlueVet #DDay #Voices4Victory

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

GOP thinking! Unaccountable to US voters, who regularly give the GOP a pass on everything. SMDH! Just cause you’re wealthy doesn’t mean you understand how gov’t works, or what specific agencies are responsible for, or how they should serve the American public.

Busting, for the umpteenth time, the memes presented on right-wing media, which shape the views (& votes) of millions! -Gov’t is full of waste. BS! -Tax cuts pay for themselves. BS! -2020 election was stolen. BS! -Migrants have high crime rates. BS! -1/6/21 was peaceful protest. BS! All RW BS!!!

It all makes sense when u understand the “rules” are totally different for MAGA/GOP than the rest of us. Constitution means didly except for Amd 2, where no limits are possible for them. Amd1 for free speech, only matters for conservatives & right wing garbage. Amd14,S3 re-written for DJT & more!

Over 1,400 No Kings events are planned in all 50 states and abroad. We truly have the opportunity to make June 14 (the day of Trump’s military birthday parade) one of the biggest days of mass protest of our lifetimes, but we need everyone who's able standing with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Pretty soon they'll be pulling names from the lists of KKK grand wizards & additional Confererate Civil war traitors for names of ships. More nonsense, less focus, on US defense needs. Absolutely a zero on the nation's priority list!

Just disgusting! I'll never fly Avelo Airlines, anywhere. It could be free & it won't matter. Just horrific that people believed GOP lies about immigrants & voted for this abominable behavior. As usual, the GOP goes to extremes, as on abortion, & gets no accountability from US voters.

The story of “Fox News” & all they do is “talk” & “entertain” as they sell bullshit to a generation of Americans who believe it, or the looney conspiracy theories spun from it, & worst of all, then vote for Republicans based on it. 🛑 voting for republicans & watching right-wing trash on TV/media.

No worries! Right-wing U.S. media is on the job 24X7X365 to make sure Republicans are never held to account, Dems are demonized, & stories are altered to blame migrants, minorities, the poor, or the homeless so the 1% can get their next round of tax cuts & more gov’t support.
